I listen to a lot of podcasts about various topics. This is by far one of the best. Erudite, articulate, very enlightening and educational and also impartial and evidence-based.

NEXUS Part 1

I have enjoyed this podcast for several years. It is thought provoking and informative from a platform that is based on learning. The majority of episodes would get 5 stars. But the NEXUS Part 1 podcast ended with a strong political bent that was disturbing. The last few minutes could and should have been edited out. Keep your podcast politically neutral and allow your listeners to come to their own conclusions.

Used to love all the great book recommendations, but Casey Means? Really? You should be ashamed spreading health misinformation. Now I have zero trust in any of your future recommendations.
